I'm Inventive/Dramatic. Took a test and got Dramatic followed by Idiosyncratic and Self-Confident (tied), but that one didn't have the Inventive variable for some reason.
What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.
Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).
For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

i always score highest in vigilant but i don't think i'm really as tough as the description sounds.
i relate more to idiosyncratic, or even sensitive, even though i scored so low on that. either this test is awful or my self-awareness really sucks haha.

Possess an exceptional awareness of their environment, Survivors, antennae, Naturally assume role of social critic/watchdog.

Leisurely...Ips or enps.
also ... Hunter-gatherers. Perhaps there is a connection between irrationality and hunter-gatherers? Rationals definetly seem to have the more valued traits for todays workforce.
"Time for leisure varies from one society to the next, although anthropologists have found that hunter-gatherers tend to have significantly more leisure time than people in more complex societies. As a result, band societies such as the Shoshone of the Great Basin came across as extraordinarily lazy to European colonialists(RATIONALSS).[3] (however the scots, irish etc were the lazy hunter-gathers, treated as shit)
Capitalist societies often view active leisure activities positively, because active leisure activities require the purchase of equipment and services, which stimulates the economy. Capitalist societies often accord greater status to members who have more wealth. One of the ways that wealthy people can choose to spend their money is by having additional leisure time.
Workaholics are those who work compulsively at the expense of other activities. They prefer to work rather than spend time socializing and engaging in other leisure activities. Many see this as a necessary sacrifice to attain high-ranking corporate positions. Increasing attention, however, is being paid to the effects of such imbalance upon the worker and the family."

I noticed that in the MBTI scheme -demonstration leads to self-confidence and -acceptance leads to aggressiveness...

Book test is better. I highly recommend the book itself, as well.
The online one gives me Self-Confident/Dramatic/I've forgotten. I think Devoted was in my top three in the book test. I found that rather stupid at the time, as I am not a particularly sacrificing person.

I'm kind of surprised at the first two, though they were close. By descriptions I'd have reversed them.
I've been typed as Vigilant, and it sounds super E6 so I guess it works

.
Agressive Oldham Style is linked to ENTJ. Solitary is linked to INTP.
Ps: from the 5 first results, 4 are associed with Gamma, which means that this is probably my Quadra.
Going by Oldham's test, I'm likely Gamma NT. Maybe I'm really ENTj.

Link: Which personality type are you?
See other people's top results.
Idiosyncratic
Code: IDI
Disorder: Schizotypal
Enneagram: 5w4, 4w5
Variant: Sexual
Myers-Briggs: INTJ, INTP
Function: Introverted Intuition
Description: Idiosyncratic men and women are not like anyone else. They are dreamers, seekrs of the spirit, visionaries, mystics. They march to a distinctive beat, different from the conventional rhythms that most people follow. They are true originals and often they stand out, sometimes as eccentrics, sometimes as geniuses.
Inner life. Idiosyncratic individuals are tuned in to and sustained by their own feelings and belief systems, whether or not others accept or understand their particular worldview or approach to life.
Own world. They are self-directed and independent, requiring few close relationships.
Own thing. Oblivious to convention, Idiosyncratic individuals create interesting, unusual, often eccentric lifestyles.
Expanded reality. Open to anything, they are interested in the occult, the extrasensory, and the supernatural.
Metaphysics. They are drawn to abstract and speculative thinking.
Outward view. Though they are inner-directed and follow their own hearts and minds, Idiosyncratic men and women are keen observers of others, particularly sensitive to how other people react to them.Mercurial
Code: MER
Disorder: Borderline
Enneagram: 4w3, 7w6
Variant: Sexual
Myers-Briggs: ESFP, ENFP
Function: Extraverted Feeling
Description: Life is a roller coaster for those with the Mercurial personality style -- and they'll insist you come along for the ride. From the peaks to the valleys, intensity imbues their every breath. Mercurial women and men yearn for experience, and they jump into a new love or a new lifestyle with both feet, without even a glance backward. No other style, the Dramatic included, is so ardent in its desire to connect with life and with other people. And no other style is quite so capable of enduring the changes in emotional weather that such a fervidly lived life will bring.
Romantic attachment. Mercurial individuals must always be deeply involved in a romantic relationship with one person.
Intensity. They experience a passionate, focused attachment in all their relationships. Nothing that goes on between them and other people is trivial, nothing taken lightly.
Heart. They show what they feel. They are emotionally active and reactive. Mercurial types put their hearts into everything.
Unconstraint. They are uninhibited, spontaneous, fun-loving, and undaunted by risk.
Activity. Energy marks the Mercurial style. These individuals are lively, creative busy, and engaging. They show initiative and can stir others to activity.
Open mind. They are imaginative and curious, willing to experience and experiment with other cultures, roles, and value systems and to follow new paths.
Alternate states. People with Mercurial style are skilled at distancing or distracting themselves from reality when it is painful or harsh.http://webspace.webring.com/people/c...ore/oldham.htmSensitive
Code: SEN
Disorder: Avoidant
Enneagram: 6 (phobic), 4w5, 9w1
Variant: Self-Preservational
Myers-Briggs: INFJ, INFP
Function: Introverted Feeling
Description: Sensitive people come into possession of their powers when their world is small and they know the people in it. For this commonly occuring personality style, familiarity breeds comfort, contentment, and inspiration. These men and women -- although they avoid a wide social network and shun celebrity -- can achieve great recognition for their creativity. Nestled in an emotionally secure environment, with a few dear family members or friends, the Sensitive style's imagination and spirit of exploration know no bounds. With their minds, feelings, and fantasies, Sensitive people find freedom.
Familiarity. Individuals with the Sensitive personality style prefer the known to the unknown. They are comfortable with, even inspired by, habit, repetition, and routine.
Concern. Sensitive individuals care deeply about what other people think of them.
Circumspection. They behave with deliberate discretion in their dealings with others. They do not make hasty judgments or jump in before they know what is appropriate.
Polite reserve. Socially they take care to maintain a courteous, self-restrained demeanor.
Role. They function best in scripted settings, vocationally and socially: when they know precisely what is expected of them, how they are supposed to relate to others, and what they are expected to say.
Privacy. Sensitive men and women are not quick to share their innermost thoughts and feelings with others, even those they know well.

Serious-Sensitive. Very accurate description. Seems to be describing an vulnerable type 6.
Remember those days when internet looked like that site and CRTs were cool stuff? Nope only CRT part.
I got sensualist.
But idiosyncratic was pretty high too. I think I'm idiosyncratic or inventive. Probably inventive. Though I can be solitary.

I've taken this test before. The result used to be different back then, I think Solitary was much stronger and Sensitive was weaker. But Idiosyncratic being the main trait hasn't changed.

According to the results I am 1. serious, 2. self-confident 3. vigilant (I think it suits my 4w3-16 enneagram type in a way):
Interpreting Your Personality Self-Portrait
Your leading style(s) most strongly shape your style, even if they sometimes conflict with one another. In brief, here are descriptions of your top styles:
Serious types are solemn and not given to emotional expression. They are realistically aware of their own capabilities but they are also aware of their limitations. They are not tempted by vanity or self-importance. They hold themselves responsible for their actions. They=re thinkers, analyzers, evaluators, ruminators and will always play things over in their minds before they acting.
Serious individuals anticipate problems and when the worst happens, they=re prepared to deal with it. Serious individuals are realists. They see the hard, harsh nature of life clearly. They have no illusions and are incapable of imagining a silver lining. They are no-nonsense people particularly suited to hard times, when their ability to push on can help everyone to survive. They always work hard and provide for others without any sense of heroism or pride in their efforts.
Even though they can seem joyless, Serious types are not necessarily unhappy. They take great satisfaction in their view of the universe. They are interested in serious subjects, which they find reassuring, and they find no need to escape into pleasure. Serious people are intensely hard workers, dependable, and trustworthy. They persevere whether or not they are enthusiastic or well rewarded. This can make it all too easy for employers to take advantage of them. They do not expect encouragement or to be treated well by others.
Although they are not socially outgoing, once they do connect with others they form very stable, long-term attachments. They tolerate the rough spots in relationships well. They are as critical of others as they are of themselves, but their fault-finding gives them no pleasure. They deeply regret causing any pain . Others who continually insist that they change into optimistic outgoing, happy-go-lucky people cause them great stress but their characteristic cynicism helps them to cope.
Vigilant types have a resilient independence. They keep their own counsel, need no outside reassurance or advice, make decisions easily, and can take care of themselves. Feisty individuals, they do not hesitate to stand up for themselves, especially when under attack. They take criticism very seriously but are not intimidated. They are keen observers of others and their surroundings and are quick to criticize what they see. They recognize when something is not right and can detect double messages and mixed motives. They are suited to city life (and to research, law, law enforcement, editing, and journalism), where hyper-alertness and questioning others' intentions is important. They prepare themselves for the worst, which may make them appear suspicious, but as a result, they are difficult to intimidate or fool. They are tough, independent survivors, often serving important roles as protectors and champions of the underdog and of causes in general.
In their personal relationships, they are slow to warm up and trust others, but once they do, they are devoted, loyal, and protective. Caution and reserve mark their work relationships as well. They need to feel independent and autonomous in all areas of their life. They often match well with partners or subordinates who are comfortable with dependence and who let them be in charge. Loss of control can cause them extreme stress. They have a tendency to blame others for what goes wrong, rather than accept that sometimes no one is at fault. They are survivors, though, and their resilient autonomy usually sees them through the rough spots.
Self-Confident types believe in themselves and in their abilities. They have no doubt that they are unique and special and expect others to treat them well at all times. They are unabashedly open about their aspirations and possibilities. They energetically and effectively sell themselves and their goals, so their goals are often achieved. They are able to take advantage of the strengths and abilities of other people to meet their goals and are shrewd in their dealings with others. They have a keen awareness of their own thoughts and feelings.
They often visualize themselves as the hero, star, or most accomplished in their field and accept compliments and admiration gracefully. Self-Confident types have a real talent for leadership and a genuine need to be in charge. They thrive when they are in a position to influence others. They are innately competitive and love status, image, and power. They like to be the attention-getters on the team or in the family. They are extroverted and good at politics. They love getting to the top and enjoy staying there. They identify well with people of high rank and status. They make excellent managers, skilled at delegating, building a motivated team, and rewarding loyalty. But they do not appreciate competition from their subordinates or attempts to share the limelight. They hate being criticized, even if justified. It may not seem to affect them outwardly but inwardly they react powerfully.
They are extremely good at accepting love and admiration but tend to be unaware of the needs of other people. They are so engaged in their own agenda they ignore what is happening to the people around them. They do have a conscience, though; it is political. If they understand they cannot remain on top without being more attentive to those below them, they will make a real effort to be more considerate.
In their personal lives, this lack of attention to others can carry big consequences. They must be reminded occasionally that their spouse or children have individual needs and feelings quite different from their own. Self-Confident people are prone to believe that the people they care about are just like them. Although they may appear selfish and oblivious to others, Self-Confident individuals take rejection very hard. As in their work life, the threat of losing position and importance will often motivate them to work on the relationship before it's too late.
This can be a very strong style, marking individuals who believe they have a purpose on the planet and the strength to discover it. They tend to be successful because they weather the frustrations and doubts that make other people quit along the way.

This is the only one personality system that I found anywhere close to being as good as Socionics in terms of how well it works for me. It emphasized things for me in a way Socionics and Enneagram already did but giving a somewhat different perspective overall on the same thing, I guess.
I score Conscientious-Aggressive in the test, and bits of Adventurous/Self-Confident/Vigilant but much of those bits are included in Aggressive too.

Could someone post the "Serious" and "Solitary" descriptions from the test here?
I find the "Serious" trait fits the Reinin Dichotomy of the same name quite well.
(Though I could see Ti leads scoring high in that trait, too.)
Based on this overview, I'd say my main styles are Idiosyncratic, Artistic, Leisurely, and Inventive.
